If you guys enjoy following live chess action I highly recommend you head over to the PRO Chess League and check that out. This came out of what was formerly the US Chess League, which as many of you know was run by IM Greg Shahade (aka curtains).

They have 48 teams, over 100 grandmasters, and I can personally attest matches are all extremely exciting. I hope you all check it out!

We offer thousands of free chess videos to help you improve your game. The range of videos include lessons from top players to those focused on improving your chess tactics. Chess is a hugely popular game of tact and skill, popular online and off. Many players enjoy other Internet opponent/strategy games such as poker (still popular in the USA), which can be played for real money - many American players do this full time as professionals.
